Rifle Scopes New Swarovski rangefinder in the works?

[BigBrother]

Hey all. I've been doing a lot of reading on the generally agreed-upon top three rangefinders out there (Leica, Zeiss, Swaro). I know the large reticle is the one major drawback on the Swaro, on an otherwise amazing piece of equipment.

So, I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether or not they're looking to improve the line anytime soon or come out with new products.

Thoughts? Info?

After using my Laser guide recently I was thinking to myself how Swaro needed a revamp too.

I would like to see a simple red dot for the reticle in the Swaro. The donut seems a little to coarse for long range.

As of a discussion with Swaro a week ago, there is no new Laser Guide coming out in the forseeable future

i'd like for the bushnell elite 1500 ARC to be merged into the swarovski LRF... the ARC is great, the features and reticle are great but the laser and receiver module are lacking in comparrison. If they could merge the two, it'd be a pretty serious piece of kit for a much lesser price than something like the vectronix ones.

I thought I had heard a while back that swarvo was doing a combo binocular and LRF similar to the Geovid's?

Is there any truth to this happening in the future?

I would be very interested in one if it were true.

Like a pair of EL series binos crossed with their LRF.

agree. Long distance ranging of targets is abit difficult with the Swaro if the target is small. Other than that, I think the optic is awesome. Also, if they can do something about the battery life span also. That thing can really suck up battery.
